My Ides of March fun fact is that the place where Caesar was stabbed is now a cat sanctuary, and I think it’s beautiful that creatures with tiny knives on their feet live there

If you’re ever in Rome you can’t walk in the ruins because they belong to the cats, but you can visit the sanctuary www.gattidiroma.net

today is MAR15 which is the day we've all agreed to celebrate the beloved character "Maris" from the television sitcom "Frasier". Everyone should do a doodle of what you think Maris might look like and share it on the computer or telephone

Today's headline from the Daily Mail. The NY Post went with, "Maine Dem Senate hopeful Graham Platner done apologizing for Nazi tattoo, claims Jewish leaders found his excuse ‘reasonable’." (The comments were apparently made in a paywalled interview)

Evil RPG dungeon design

as a jrpg fan, my primary interests in video games are raising and lowering sewer gates, such as to manipulate the water level

i gave my ttrpg players a water temple once and penciled in the waterline above the inked map. there was no mechanism through which to change the water level. drove them insane, as i recall

"Singapore is moving to ban caged lorries used to transport migrant workers"

@channelnewsasia From Jan 1, 2027, companies in Singapore will no longer be allowed to transport workers in caged lorries. Caged decks pose extra safety risks, especially if doors are locked from the outside and an accident or fire happens, said Senior Minister of State for Transport Sun Xueling in parliament on Mar 4. #singapore #sgnews ♬ original sound - CNA


SCMP
Government officials and business groups have argued that a complete ban on transporting workers on lorries would pose significant economic and logistical challenges
...
a joint statement by 25 business chambers and associations warned that eliminating the practice would involve “real, practical and operational complexities”, including greater traffic congestion and added strain on businesses.

Six stories about media manipulation









Folks, I regret to inform you: This design was OK'd by the Citizens Coin Advisory Committee in...October 2024. Its design was set in place when Biden was in office. The designer left out the olive branch to symbolize the colonists' not yet achieving peace, but hoping for it. Trump didn't do this.

"Pokémon Go is giving delivery robots an inch-perfect view of the world"

MIT:

The problem Coco faces is that it cannot rely on GPS, which can be weak in cities because radio signals bounce off buildings and interfere with each other. “We do deliveries in a lot of dense areas with high-rises and underpasses and freeways, and those are the areas where GPS just never really works,”

...

For the last few years, Niantic Spatial has been taking the data collected from players of Pokémon Go and Ingress (Niantic’s previous phone-based AR game, launched in 2013) and building a visual positioning system, technology that tells you where you are based on what you can see. “It turns out that getting Pikachu to realistically run around and getting Coco’s robot to safely and accurately move through the world is actually the same problem,”
